The brave and confident girl from the small state of Tripura, missed out on an Olympic medal by 0.150 points regardless of effectively executing the hazardous Produnova vault (15.266) in her second endeavour to secure 15.066 points by and large.
Nation united, cheered for the girl, internet is pouring praises and blessings for 23 year old Dipa Karmakar.



Her fourth place standing in the individual vaults final at the Summer Olympics, Rio is by far India’s best performance at the Olympics.
